Across
- 1. stream-a narrow variable band of very strong predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth. There are typically two or three jet streams in each of the northern and southern hemispheres.
- 5. storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
- 7. pressure-The pressure exerted by the weight of air on the earth's surface is known as air pressure.
- 8. energy- an energy that is transferred by electromagnetic radiation, such as light, X-rays, gamma rays, and thermal radiation, which may be described in terms of either discrete packets of energy, called photons, or continuous electromagnetic waves.
- 9. front-a composite front produced by occlusion.
- 11. map-A weather map, also known as synoptic weather chart, displays various meteorological features across a particular area at a particular point in time and has various symbols which all have specific meanings.Maps using isotherms show temperature gradients, which can help locate weather fronts.
- 12. front-the boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
- 13. is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. ... The phase change that accompanies water as it moves between its vapor, liquid, and solid form is exhibited in the arrangement of water molecules. Water molecules in the vapor form are arranged more randomly than in liquid
- 16. the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
- 18. front- A stationary front is a weather front or transition zone between two air masses when neither air mass is advancing into the other at speeds exceeding 5 knots at the ground surface.
- 19. pressure-a condition of the atmosphere in which the pressure is above average.
- 20. pressure-a condition of the atmosphere in which the pressure is below average.
- 21. stream-The Gulf Stream is a strong ocean current that brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean. It extends all the way up the eastern coast of the United States and Canada. The Gulf Stream is a strong ocean current that brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean.
- 22. energy- is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar power to generate electricity, solar thermal energy including solar water heating, and solar architecture.
Down
- 2. energy- internal energy present in a system in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. Thermal energy cannot be converted to useful work as easily as the energy of systems that are not in states of thermodynamic equilibrium.
- 3. current- are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (Coriolis Effect), and water density. Horizontal movements are referred to as currents, while vertical changes are called upwellings or downwellings.
- 4. temperature- is the temperature at or near a surface. Specifically, it may refer to Surface air temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the earth.Global surface temperature, the combined global average of Surface air temperature and Sea surface temperature.
- 6. envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
- 7. mass- a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure.
- 10. is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. Evaporation is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor.
- 14. is the movement of air, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth's own rotation.Wind is the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun. It does not have much substance—you cannot see it or hold it—but you can feel its force.
- 15. effect-an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
- 17. front-the boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
